So the way I would put that for Uber is that there's lots of transportation opportunities in the world.
There's a big market for transportation.
Uber is a marketplace in that market.
And that's mostly when we talk about market design, what we get to design.
We design marketplaces.
And so Uber is a marketplace.
Lyft is another marketplace.
Municipal taxi services licensed by cities were another marketplace.
That's right.
And they don't just appear in their final form immediately.
They also get modified by their users, by –
by regulators, by observers who feel impacted by the market even though they're not participants.
Think about Airbnb and the regulations.
So Airbnb is a marketplace for hosts and travelers.
And
cities are starting to have some concern about neighborhoods that might be having too much concentration of Airbnbs.
That changes the nature of the neighborhood.
And it wasn't covered by existing zoning laws that talked about hotels, for instance.
But now when you look at Airbnb, it's a combination of the original design of Airbnb, the modifications they put in, the way the users have used it, the way cities have regulated it.
Well, as opposed to other markets.
